The Fourth of July is a favorite holiday for many people. Unlike the stress that comes with Thanksgiving and other holidays, such as relatives and in-laws visiting, gift shopping and traveling, the Fourth of July is generally a three-day weekend that screams fun and relaxation.Wed, 03 Jul 2013 22:44:11 +0000762856 at http://www.reviewjournal.comRemember A-B-C-D-Es

Peter Cottontail may know where he hid the eggs, but I am not sure he could find them if he was the one hunting for them. Those carrots he was eating to improve his eyesight weren’t enough to make a difference, according to my favorite eye care doctor, Chris Coker, O.D. He offers some great advice for Peter Cottontail that you may also find useful.Wed, 03 Apr 2013 09:12:03 +0000696836 at http://www.reviewjournal.comSt. Patrick's is a great occasion

When I was growing up, there were two options on my mom's daily menu take it or leave it. Being the good child that I was, I took it. Always. All of it. All the time. I learned to be a good eater and clean my plate. I'm proud to say that today I am a life member of the "Clean Plate Club."

The holidays are over. The cookies and treats are all eaten. The relatives have left, and the decorations are put away. The only thing not gone is the extra pounds I gained.Wed, 02 Jan 2013 08:16:00 +00009240 at http://www.reviewjournal.comKeeping teeth healthy can be

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth! Really? That's it? Two? What about 32? I prefer all my teeth. Is that too much to ask?

It's just about time for the first big holiday of the season known for family, friends and food. And although you might want to consider safety tips when it comes to family and friends (ha ha), you definitely will need to where food is involved.

Color matters! Just because your pickle spear used to be a cucumber doesn't mean you're eating all your vegetables. And just because your pies have fruit filling doesn't mean you have fulfilled your fruit servings for the day.

Watching these Olympic swimmers from 115-degree heat in Las Vegas makes me want to head over to the community pool and jump in. Do you ever wonder how those athletes make it look so easy? Many of us feel like we just swam the English Channel after one lap across the pool.

Taste and smell are closely linked. Delicious tastes help ensure that we eat and enjoy food, while unsavory tastes help us stay away from poisons. But did you know that our sense of smell is estimated to be about 10,000 times more sensitive than our sense of taste? We actually smell more flavorsFri, 06 Jul 2012 23:17:49 +0000715051 at http://www.reviewjournal.comCheck up on your New Year's resolutionhttp://www.reviewjournal.com/life/health/check-your-new-years-resolution
We are coming up on a six-month check-in (July 1) for our New Year's resolution adherence. How are you doing? Hoping maybe the thought would disappear until January 2013? Well, I've been informally polling people lately about why they are not physically active.

If you love water, you must love me! Water is mostly what I am made of. Water, the liquid portion of our cells and tissues, makes up more than 60 percent of our body weight. It is the nutrient the body needs in the greatest amount.

I read an old Chinese proverb recently. It said, "Failure is not falling down but refusing to get up." Really? Refusing to get up? Refusing? How about this? I can't get up! That's right. I've fallen and I can't get up! As the American population ages, the harmful impact of falls continues to rise.Wed, 04 Apr 2012 07:15:39 +000027760 at http://www.reviewjournal.comResolve to take on a reasonable exercise planhttp://www.reviewjournal.com/annie-lindsay/resolve-take-reasonable-exercise-plan
